Outstanding Lighting Technology For The New Bavarian Plenar Hall

The inner of the new plenar hall of the Bavarian parliament has been drastically altered and can now meet the contemporary and functional demands of a modern assembly hall. A wholly different meaning was allocated to the lighting design. Whereas before the refurbishment, daylight within the plenar hall was basically of minor importance, it has now become the main theme. The lighting concept from architects Volker Staab and the lighting consultants Licht Kunst Licht from Berlin planned the plenar hall as a daylit space with glazed roofing over its entirety.

To make sure that daylight does not also stand for warmth and annoying direct sunlight, a highly effective prismatic daylight system reflects away the direct 'hot' sunlight and therefore avoids glare effects and a disturbance of the interior climate. The intensive zenith light and the incoming 'cool' light from other directions is directed into the interior space, creating optimal viewing conditions.

An Excellent Couple: Artificial Light and Daylight

Parliamentary sessions can now take place without danger of excess heat from outside and with perfectly illuminated conditions. The space, fitted out with leather and wood, benefits from an optimal colour rendition. At the same time the dynamics of an ever changing sky can be perceived.

Depending on the intensity of daylight, infinately variable atificial sources of light create optimal lighting conditions. Over 400 asymmetrical distribution luminaires (DUS wallwashers) from Siteco have been installed between the glass roof and the translucent intermediate ceiling below it. Each luminaire has 2 independently controllable lamps, allowing the space to be illuminated with different colour tones and brightness levels. The use of state-of-the-art lighting technology results in the best possible matching of daylight and artificial light.

The lighting solution in the new plenar hall recognises the differing degrees of daylight and artificial light and uses this information as a design element. The light creates zones of space and differing scenes can be staged. The optimisation of maximum light incidence and solar protection with consideration of optical comfort allows not only major economic savings but also optimal viewing conditions.
